CVG-UPM has a large experience in using Vision for increasing the autonomy of UAV. Its research activities, projects and publications can be seen at www.vision4uav.com.

Participation in international competitions with UAVs

In 2013 we won First Prize in “Indoors Autonomy” at IMAV 2013 and in 2012 we obtained the Special Award on "Best Automatic Performance" at IMAV 2012 and the second overall prize in the category "Indoor Flight Dynamics ‐ Rotary Wing MAV". In August 2014 we are inscribed for participating in the IARC14 competition in the Yantai (China) venue.

Participating persons and complementary skills

We aim at participating in both tracks within the Challenge 3. The task leader for the first track will be Dr. Aneesh Chauhan, who has a large experience in point cloud data processing through a PhD on Visual Recognition plus a post doc projection lidar data recognition taken from aerial vehicles. The task leader of second track will be Adrian Carrio, an experienced PhD student working in See&Avoid and visual control. Jesus Pestana and Jose Luis Sanchez will help in both tasks while doing a research stay abroad and making profit of their experience as team responsibles in above mentioned international competitions. Fu Changhong, Ramon Suarez and Jeff Collumeau will eventually help while working in other projects in the Group.
